Exile, a new play by Niamh Denyer is included in the line up for SWK Fest at Southwark Playhouse
We are delighted that our new play Exile by company member, Niamh Denyer will be part of SWK Fest at Southwark Playhouse on the 6th and 11th July at 7.30pm.
It’s 2016. Donna’s life is thrown into disarray when she discovers she’s pregnant, forcing her to make a secret journey from her home in Ireland to get the help she needs. Darren drives a taxi in London, is married to Lesley, and has a baby on the way, but a chance encounter brings the secrets of his past hurtling into the present.
Set against the backdrop of the criminalization of abortion that was a reality in Ireland just three years ago, Exile examines the idea of home and identity and the choices one must make when the two collide.
An extra night has just been added on July 11th after the first sold out in a few days
